THE STONE OF THE TIDES Recent discoveries during surveys ' WHERE entry=295;
UPDATE locales_page_Text SET text_loc9='of the troll ruins of Stranglethorn Vale have shown references to an object known as the "Stone of the Tides". Various fragments of troll legends can be pieced together to paint a rather complete picture of the Stone and its importance to the ancient Gurubashi Empire. It appears that the Stone of the Tides allowed its bearer to control water in its many forms, rivers, rain, and the tides. Because of the stories related to use of the Stone of the Tides, I have conjectured that it is ' WHERE entry=296;
UPDATE locales_page_Text SET text_loc9='actually a physical manifestation of the powers of the Waterlord, a powerful elemental of the seas. How and why such an object would leave the Waterlord\'s control and fall into the hands of the trolls is another question that is beyond the scope of my knowledge.

' WHERE entry=297;
UPDATE locales_page_Text SET text_loc9='In troll legends, it is said that the first time the Stone of the Tides came to the Gurubashi Empire, it was found by a troll warrior wandering along the coast of Stranglethorn.

For years, the Tidebearer served the Gurubashi Empire, summoning his thrall water elementals in battle and manipulating the flow of water in Stranglethorn Vale for the benefit of the Empire. But as the years went on, the Tidebearer became more reclusive, tending to stay for long periods of time away from court. The Tidebearer was hiding a secret from the prying eyes of court.

With each coming and going of the tides, the Tidebearer became less of himself, losing his corporeal form--pulsing in and out of existence--until in his dying days, he traveled to the beach where he had first found the Stone, and walked into the sea, disappearing for the last time.

UPDATE locales_page_Text SET text_loc9='The Legend of Greatfather Winter$B$BThe term "Winter Veil" is said to stem from a supernatural being referred in many cultures to as Greatfather Winter.

In his wake was the blanketing of the land in snow, and thus it is said that Greatfather Winter would cast his wintry veil over the land.

The flight from Blackrock Spire was chaotic, to say the least. Unfortunately along the way, Mor somehow lost his footing, though I suspect that he was pushed. In any case, he fell down in to the recesses of the lower portion of the spire.' WHERE entry=2863;

But there was to be no happy ending for my good friend; he was taken prisoner by the trolls of Tazz\'Alaor.

They had always exhibited a certain zeal in vanquishing any of the Scourge that we ran across in our travels, and it was suspected that their family had ties to the organization.' WHERE entry=2865;
UPDATE locales_page_Text SET text_loc9='JARIEN AND SOTHOS, continued...$B$BSo it was that they found themselves facing the trials that are required of those that seek to join the Crusade. Of particular interest to them was a position of knighthood within the ranks; something that required more difficult testing apparently. For it was later discovered that Sothos actually failed his final test. Jarien would not have it though, and in open defiance she insisted that he be able to join her amongst the knights. From what we have gathered, Grand Crusader Dathrohan slew them both right on the spot in the middle of his chambers.$B$BThus it is that another of these haunted loci is The Crimson Throne inside The Scarlet Bastion at Stratholme.'

When we first took him into the fold it was as a prisoner on some job we\'d accepted in Burning Steppes. He proved himself invaluable in helping us to get out of a sticky situation we fell into there, however, and so he came on as one of the company\'s premier mages.$B$BThe odd thing about him though was the completely different nature of his two heads. One was always cheerful if not a little foolish, while the other was sly, calculating and had an almost dead look to its eyes. Kind of creepy really.' WHERE entry=2867;
UPDATE locales_page_Text SET text_loc9='KORMOK, continued...$B$BLater, through the course of our travels, Kormok became exposed to the necromantic side of magic. Unfortunately the creepy head exhibited an affinity for raising dead spirits, and took a perverse pleasure in it, especially in summoning forth the exiled spirits of Purgation Isle to do his bidding.$B$BAfter the company disbanded, Kormok enrolled at the Scholomance to further his \'education\'. The spectral assassins found entrance to the school all too easy, and slew him right there in front of his new master, Ras Frostwhisper.$B$BThis makes Ras Frostwhisper\'s chamber one of the haunted locations where the brazier can be successfully utilized.'

We don\'t know if he wanted to study it or sell it (or both), and it doesn\'t matter now.

He insisted on taking it as his share of the loot, which quickly devolved into a heated argument, and almost a fight, over the thing.

UPDATE locales_page_Text SET text_loc9='Since your departure from the Evergrove, I\'ve continued my studies of the Book of the Raven and I\'ve discovered some information that will help you defeat the raven god.

Freeing the spirits has bound them to you, so I expect they will freely offer their assistance in the fight against the raven god.

When you first unleash the spirits, they will be dormant, as they have been for centuries. Using your heal-over-time spells, you can infuse them with energy, bringing them to life and gaining their aid in combat. When the magic fades, they will return to their slumber.

What follows is a collection of my notes on each bird spirit:' WHERE entry=3002;
UPDATE locales_page_Text SET text_loc9='The Falcon Spirit

The spirit of the falcon is imbued with incredible speed and agility, highly regarded among the arakkoa for its keen hunting skills. It will lend you a measure of its speed in spellcasting and melee combat if you energize the spirit with a heal-over-time spell.
' WHERE entry=3003;
UPDATE locales_page_Text SET text_loc9='The Eagle Spirit

Arakkoa tradition holds that the eagle spirit was not as fast as its falcon brother, but possessed the greatest skill in the hunt. The eagle spirit will use its skills against your enemies if you use a heal-over-time spell to awaken it from its slumber.

UPDATE locales_page_Text SET text_loc9='The Hawk Spirit

The tablet speaks highly of the hawk, as though he might have once been in league with the raven. An ancient arakkoa symbol for vengeance, the hawk spirit was often invoked by victims of wrongdoing. Using a heal-over-time spell to awaken the spirit will allow you to share in its power, damaging those who do harm to you.

I send this wretch to you now as a servant of Illidan. While he has no future as a death knight, you may find that he has skills suitable to your liking. Beat him into submission. Shape him into a warrior of the Illidari.
